I bought an HD 500 X over the pandemic, and I have enjoyed using it so much. I do struggle with the overdrive and distortions, but right now I’m running, either direct into my DAW or into my fender twin, where I can’t take advantage of the ant modeling.that AC 30 sounds amazing. I really appreciate your videos. They are really really helpful. Thank you so much!
Color drive is the only one I like. Otherwise you have to do an amp model that’s high gain. The compressors can get some great drive tones though. The way they push the amp is very realistic
Hey Jon, wanted to say thank you for posting relevant and helpful videos on the HD500x. I just picked one of these up, budget was not in the Helix range. The HD is great!
Just got my 500xhd in the mail and these videos have been complete lifesavers. Saved me a lot of time annoying my friends who have one about how to do basic shit lol
Your video it's very helpfull mate!! I've bought this pod hd 500x i couple months ago and still on my way to create my sound Good to see people sharing what they know about this multi effect, keep it up mate!!
Another tip I found is when you set up a distortion/boost to boost your solo sound. Add a delay or Reverb to the selected Distortion at the same time from the same button.
Keep talking buddy it all makes sense to me. Thanks for the great video. I have a HD500 and just got it repaired. The selection knob on the top left seems to be fragile. I must have knocked it.......got a tech to replace it for $160. I am now relearning the HD500 and found this video really useful. Like any software you need to spend time and focus to get good results. The people I know who are knockers have only spent short times with the effects unit and are wanting instant results. Keep up the good work Jon.
great videos. until watching your videos I was prepared to throw the 500x away. I couldn't figure out how to set it up. now its a prime piece in my live gig setup.
Love these videos and still making my way through; just wanted to throw out there: I hear you talk about the “coding” of the names of the amps lol, if you peep the advanced guide they have online there’s a table matching each model to the real amp/speaker. You may already have known this but just sharing in case you didn’t!
EXCELLENT video . Make some DVDs of the pod tutorials and sell them on Amazon. You could make some nice change. I have a good friend thats a super guitar player and this is all he uses onstage
i guess im asking randomly but does anybody know a tool to log back into an instagram account..? I stupidly lost the password. I love any assistance you can give me
@Ramon Bradley i really appreciate your reply. I got to the site on google and I'm trying it out atm. I see it takes quite some time so I will reply here later with my results.
Can anyone help me find the following information concerning the LINE 6 HD500X . I just bought it. Three questions; 1) Has anyone found WHERE there is a preset list for the presets? I can't find it anywhere online. 2) I'm trying to duplicate the Adam Jones guitar sound for a recording im doing. Can anyone recommend which amp model on the LINE 6 HD500X has that fat,low end ,thick compressed gain sound Adam Jones gets? 3) Any idea which actual real amplifiers the amp models are trying to emulate on HD500X ? Example: which amp model duplicates a Marshall,BoogieDiezel,etc?. Thanks. Krissy💋💋💋💋
Planning on getting one of these. Opening for a concert next month and I'm wondering if I could arrange the presets according to my setlist. So I could just hit up or down and I'm at the next song. Thanks! New sub
Yea you can. I have mine automated too. So all my pre sets all change using midi triggers. It's nice cause i can still see what preset im on incase something like my laptop going down i can still change my presets
Quick q., can you actually Place the wah n volume effect on exp1 n 2 withOUT showing it on the signal chain? Its annoying that i see them On the signal chain where i can put 2 more pedals on it
An absolute beginner here. Where do you connect the HD500x out to? Would it be the input of a cheap combo amp (with all effects knob turned down & clean engaged) or just a speaker cabinet ? If it is the latter, what do you suggest ?
one of the only things I do not like about this is the Distortion and overdrive. If you get one of these you totally need to keep your Distortion and overdrive pedals create an effects Loop patch so you can use your stomp boxes with this I do that with my pedals and with my chorus pedal the way Reverb Pitchfork pitch shifter pedal and it gives you more flexibility the distortion on this you could probably find some good sound with some tweaking but I have some good pedal so I'd rather use those
Love your videos, they have been very helpful. Do you know if there's a place that lists the factory presets and their inspiration? I figure Dutch Pasadena is EVH, but what is Dr Crunch, a new favorite for me? I can't find anything online...
Hey, Derek. It's an Electromatic Pro Jet that I picked up back in, like, 2008. That's as specific as I can get, I don't even know which Gretsch model number it is. But, it plays awesome and I use it for pretty much anything that isn't drop tuned.
Good question. The master volume on the 500x I leave cranked all the way up. But, the amp volume I set differently for each amp. It just depends on how loud the preset is. I adjust the amp volumes so that each preset is at the same volume level. The exception is when I want a preset to be extra loud for doing guitar solos. Then I turn up the amp volume. Does that help?
Jon Eleyet sure does. I guess I’ve been doing the same thing. I wish that volume knob saved for each amp. I have to go into each preset individually and press enter twice over the amp and adjust the master that way. Been looking at helix and hesdrush but I love my 500x though not ready to let it go. And I’ve seen lots of issues with those. Your thoughts on helix and or headrush?
I understand that there are already presets that have been created by other musicians that are very close if not exactly like the tones of specific artists used in specific songs. Do you know, or can you guide me to the right location to download or purchase the ones I need for the songs we play? That would save me a ton of time trying to figure them all out. I would have to do 71 songs at this point. I have the Line 6 POD HD500, not the 500X like you have. I we make enough extra money doing gigs, I would like to buy the Line 6 POD HDX rack mount module, but if I can get everything I need from what I have, I will be golden. Thank you, and/or anyone else that can send me in the right direction.
They're stock Gretsch mini humbuckers. These are just the standard ones that come with the Electromatic models. I'd like to get a pair of TV Jones pickups in there someday.
Its too bad that a lot of people give the pods a bad rap. No, you cant just turn it on and get a great tone like an Axe Fx, buy for 1/5th the price, and spending some time tweezing out a good tone, you can make it sound good. It just takes some work.
How do you usually listen to your patches when setting them up? Through headphones or an amp? I’m gonna be running my pod through my churches soundboard. Thanks for your help
Good question. If you're not going to use an amp when you perform live, then I'd recommend rehearsing with headphones or a decent pair of speakers. I feel like an amp is going to alter the way your tone sounds and not give a consistent tone between practice and live performance. However, either way, be prepared to tweak your preset settings once you get on stage at church. Some of your presets may sound different through the church's PA system, so use dress rehearsal time to get your presets totally dialed in. Hope that helps.

thanks so much for this info. I'm new to the POD...just got it a few weeks ago. much appreciated.
Best amp guideline online when looking for basic sounds
Great video. Gave me a nice starting point. 👍

For your preference what should be the master volume? Planning to buy 1 😁

Download "POD HD Series Model Gallery" from the manual section on the Line 6 website. It contains a list of amp/fx models and what they're based on.
Very useful, thanks
Hy, which better, valeton gp 200 or hd 500x?
Planning on getting one of these. Opening for a concert next month and I'm wondering if I could arrange the presets according to my setlist. So I could just hit up or down and I'm at the next song. Thanks! New sub
Yup! You totally can. The 500x has multiple set lists too.
Yea you can. I have mine automated too. So all my pre sets all change using midi triggers. It's nice cause i can still see what preset im on incase something like my laptop going down i can still change my presets
Is it possible to use external tap tempo pedal in hd 500x because my tap tempo switch which in line 6 is not working properly?
Hello Jon, thanx for all. I had buy the hd500x. Not new. How to start again with just the factory presets ? A thanx by a french man in Sain !
I’m stuck in wanted this, gt100 and boss me80. I think the boss me80 is more up my alley but it doesn’t have a loop.
Quick q., can you actually
Place the wah n volume effect on exp1 n 2 withOUT showing it on the signal chain? Its annoying that i see them
On the signal chain where i can put 2 more pedals on it
Hi, the 500x treats the wah and volume effects just like all the other effects. So, they have to be included in the signal chain.
An absolute beginner here. Where do you connect the HD500x out to? Would it be the input of a cheap combo amp (with all effects knob turned down & clean engaged) or just a speaker cabinet ? If it is the latter, what do you suggest ?
I would get a powered monitor for it
one of the only things I do not like about this is the Distortion and overdrive. If you get one of these you totally need to keep your Distortion and overdrive pedals create an effects Loop patch so you can use your stomp boxes with this I do that with my pedals and with my chorus pedal the way Reverb Pitchfork pitch shifter pedal and it gives you more flexibility the distortion on this you could probably find some good sound with some tweaking but I have some good pedal so I'd rather use those
Kinda defeats the object.

Hi guys! Thanks for the video! I’d like to ask you if does it worth buying the pod he 500x in 2021? Cheers
Hi Jon, Which model of the Gretsch are you using. Thanks for an awsome instruction video. Cheers.
Hey, Derek. It's an Electromatic Pro Jet that I picked up back in, like, 2008. That's as specific as I can get, I don't even know which Gretsch model number it is. But, it plays awesome and I use it for pretty much anything that isn't drop tuned.
Any different between HD500 and HD500X?
Tones are the same. Biggest difference is that the 500x has more processing power so you can use more effects-heavy presets.
@@JonEleyetGuitar
Thanks a lot for The answer. Very helpfull of you.
Little tricky gettin The settings Good on my own.
Hey Jon. Nice video there. Could you please tell me what is the HD500x connected to for output?
what amp or speaker are you using?
Aweome video Jon! Curious what do you set the master volume at? The one when you press enter twice over that amp. How about thump?
I know you started video at volume at max but I’m talking bout the other volume option.
Good question. The master volume on the 500x I leave cranked all the way up. But, the amp volume I set differently for each amp. It just depends on how loud the preset is.

Hey any chance I could get a good Bogner Steve Lukather lead tone from you ?
Ещё хорошо звучат усилители Солдано. В последней прошивке есть полностью ряд Солдано: чистый, кранч и лид.
I'll get this in a month!
So excited
Just a question
Can i record from my pc and hear the sound come from my amp at the same time?
And thank u!
Yes you can. I suggest you turn off the monitoring in your DAW to avoid hearing the latency delay.
@@JohnZeeX thank you very much ^^
Lucky i have to save up money to get it nd im not good at saving money😫
@@jorgerobles2591 it's 450$ ! U can do it man!

What kind of pickups is on your guitar?
They're stock Gretsch mini humbuckers. These are just the standard ones that come with the Electromatic models. I'd like to get a pair of TV Jones pickups in there someday.
More videos please
can cabinets be used on this?
U can stack the amps
